1 !? 1 have th?- Democrats had the
chance . they haw this year.
Easte-rn Democrats scoff at the!
nomination of Governor Rrvan of1
V. l.a. for in. nn Viv Pn . ?
ideilt but John \V. Davis, who made j
the selection, had iiis eye on the j
W* st ? the one |dac?* which inayj
mean his triumph. It is much too!
??arlv to make definite predictions j
but it is not too soOn to analyze the |
fi^ht ground on which the campaign j
will be fought. This is essential to I
an understanding of the strategy
that will lie unfolded by all the can-'
?didates in the next three months.
First of all. the campaign starts
with certain fundamental impres- j
sions ? the Republicans, for example
are cocksure of victory. Their con
fidence arises out of the Kastern
-Furtra whlrli ar* present "W rVftnaT *Tt 1
would seem, they are Mcely to carry
by overwhelming majorities.
S? condly. there is a deep-seated i
Idea that Senator La Follette will!
?develop as much strength as did'
Roosevelt in II# 12. There is no war
rant for such an assumption. His
electoral vote may not exceed fifty,
if the election We're to be a close one,
the fifty votes might throw the con
test into Congress for settlement.!
But this correspondent does not
look for n close result. Either*
Cool id go or John W. Davis will be
JV I'M President of the United
States and when the "tide begins to
run it will run strongly in one di
rection.
The question of whether it will be'
a Democrat or a Republican d>-(
P> uds lnra* Iv on the way the issues'
are crystallized. As for the indi
\idu:ils nominated, they will not be
t!:> vital factors that personalities

Follette. who runs on a third ticket,
is a man of rugged honesty and ca-|
pa city.
The campaign will not turn on"
p? Tsonal fitness but on issues. When
Wilson and Hug heg were the noipi-.
IH-C8 In 1 9,1 r, "the country was ready
to accept either personality but the!
West had a conviction that the Wil
son foreign policies needed to be Up-|
held. In 1920 neither Hardinu nor :
James M. Cox were themselves fac
torc in the result. The tide of re
sentment against the Wilson admin-,
istration for neglecting reconstruc
tion problems at home while ab
sorbed in foreign policy,' would have,
made the landslide as great no mat
ter who the Republican candidate
had been.
So In 1D24 Calvin Coolldge is not
the issue. The Fast Is more or less
contended from an economic view
point and is unconvinced that change
is desirable. The West is In the
throes of economic discontent and
ready to grasp straws to obtain re
lb f. Neither the Republican nor
Democratic National conventions
really appraised the western political
situation at its proper value. Hut it
is significant that John W. Davis
does. lie* deliberately selected (Jov
< rnor Rryan of Nebraska as his run
nlnc mate as first proof of his in
terest ill the West. Now he will
campaign there and endeavor to con
vince the West that their hope lies
In a Democratic Congress and exec
utive.
Can Davis make the West feel hl.?
progr'>ftslvlsm? Will the feeling of
rrst ntment over the record of the
last Republican Congress crystallize
so In the West?
The Republican party's record of
the last four years will be contrast
ed with the eight years of Demo
cratic rule and the problem of get
ting foreign markets no as to Im
prove the prices of farm products
will %e debated most this year West
of the Mississippi. Agricultural ques
tions do not worry the Fast. The
cry about neutrality and keeping
America out of the war was a vital
thing in the West In 191#? at the very
moment that the Fast was criticising
I Wilson for vacillation and praising
I Hughes for his straight from the
l shoulder speeches about protecting
. American rights. After election the
country woke up to find that th ?
W? st and solid South could win an
election.
That's why this year one caanot
dismiss lightly the chances of John
W. Davis without being sure that the
West is not on the point of revolt.
Then the election of Calvin Coolidg*
can be regarded as a foregone con
clusion. Rut the Democratic oppor
tunity must first be disproved and
h? re Is the Democratic chance, its
for inula of victory. If this combina
tion falls, no other will win for the
E;>?t Is for Coolldge and Dawes.
Here Is the electoral table which,
at the momant. seems to Indicate the
direction of Democratic opportunity:
Alabama 12. Arltona 3. Arkansas
9. California 13. Colorado Florida

The electoral college consists of
531 votes of which 266 are neces
sary to a choice. .Mr. Davis, accord
ing to the foregoing table, could lose
24 votes and still be the victor. It
will be noted that the tabulation
[gives Coolidge everything east of the
Mississippi with the exception of
Ohio. Indiana and West Virginia and
the South, while Davis gets every
thing west of the Mississippi except
Oregon. Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and Iowa.
In 1916 Wilson carried Ohio and
New Hampshire but neither West
Virginia nor Indiana. He also car
ried North Dakota which would ap
pear this time to beheaded for the
' LaFollette column. It will be im
mediately argued by staunch Demo
crats that the East Is by no means
lost to Dnvls and that If A1 Smith i
I runs for governor of New York he
may swine the empire state Into the
.electoral column for Davis. The Re
J publicans will by no means concede
either Ohio or Indiana as lost to
them. West Virginia, being Davis'
home state, is likely to go Demo
cratic.
Callfornlans will contend that
Coolldee will carry it because he
showed himself strong in the primar
ies aealnst Hiram Johnson, but It
I will be bent to await the develop
ment of the Interesting contest go
ing on between the regulars and the
Johnson wing of the Republican
i party before reaching a conclusion.
So In Indiana the verdict of the peo
I pie on the administration of Oover
. nor McCray who now Is in the pen
itentiary. is giving the Democrats
hope. As for Ohio, Harry Daugh
erty inav be an Issue there just An
, f n the Western states Teapot Dome)
will bo revived to the discomfiture of
jthe Republicans. The Fast has al
ready digested the. oil controversy
and forgotten It, but the West is
Imuch more Interested In conserva
tion of natural resources and all
'.that goes with It. Theodore Roose
velt won the West that way and he
,was by no means a radical. John
D*vb? may make a Roosevelt plea
on conservation He will at any rate
carry the flght Into the heart of the
jWest. It's his one big chance.
Meanwhile the rise In the price of
t wheat and corn Is making the Re
! publicans optimistic. The most that
'can be said of the campaign a* Its
(beginning Is that It starts with a
? sharp line of cleavage between a
j contented East and a discontented
' West and at the moment the chances
I of victory for either party may be
I said to be even.

Over Production Serious
American Farmer Problem
And Only in Co-operative Marketing or in Some Sort of
Baek to Town Movement Would There Seem to
he Any Practicable Solution
n>- j. c. ROYLR
CCopjfrlfht IW4, By Th? A<,?ne.)
Now York, July 14. ? Now tliat
the cash for the crops of the coun-l
try, both grain and fruit, la begin
ning to flow back to the farms In!
constantly Increasing streams, the]
effect of co-operative marketing and I
grower control Is becoming moro
and moro apparent. Those are the]
factors which are making headway i
toward taking care of surplus prod-'
ucts. So great a menace has surplus!
of farm products become that thel
Sears-Roebuck agricultural founda-|
tlon, in close touch with agricultural I
communities, predicts a "back to
town" movement to decrease produc
ers and production and increaso con
sumers.
i Modern facilities have so en
hanced production, according to
Wheeler McMlllen. Mid-West aitrl
cultural expert, that the averace
American farmer now produced 2 *6
times as much as the Kuropean
farmer.
"The principal reason farming
does not pay as well as wo would
like," ho continued, ''Is that the
American farmer produces more of
certain commodities than the mar
kets can absorb at profitable prices.
There is no assurance as to when
foreign countries will be able to pay
for more than they are buying now.
America's best market Is the domes
tic market. I do not agree that the
growth of cities is a menace. Un
profitable agriculture, long contin
ued, would be a greater menace."
I.ead? rs in the co-operative move..
ni'-nt in agriculture, assert that
grower control Is the remedy which
will obliterate the danger of surplus,
production. Ralph P. Merrltt, pres-j
ident of the Sun Maid Raisin Grow-'
era* Association, declares that
through application of this co-opera
tive principle, the liabilities of his
organization had been reduced from
Ii8. ooo. 000 in January. 1923, to'
less than $4,500,000 today and that 1
while the largest annual sales erar
mifde* previously by the organization1
were 1 40.000 tons, raisins now Wit*
moving into consumption at the rate]
of 240.000 tons s year with the re
mainder of production getting into!
converted products.
"The philosophy of our merchan
dising." he said, "has been founded
on the fact that the raisin associa
tion has for distribution) to consum
crn only what they will take and
[that the balance of the crop must
be converted to other ubcb."
An Interesting anrl successful ex
periment In co-opreatlv* marketing
is now In progress on the little
known door county peninsula of
Wisconsin, considered until a few
years ago as a complete wast'-. Four
hundred fruit growers am now pick
ing a cherry crop of 500.000 caws
of an estimated value of $1,000,000.
The growers have built up a unified
marketing system that assures mem
bers the sale of their produets.
Tho present crop Is largo and
prices are not expected to be up to
the average for fresh fruit, hut tin*
organization Is prepared to e?n the
surplus and avoid glutting tho mar
ket, according to J. W. Tlllsperger,
manager of the concern. About one
fourth the fresh fruit wll Ibe mar
keted in Wisconsin. Minnesota.
North and South Dakota, Iowa, Kan
sas. Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, after being prc-cooled In the
growers' own plant. The surplus
will be canned, 25 per cent fed to
the spot market and the remainder
sold as conditions warrant.
The fruit is being picked largely
by city boys sent to the peninsula I
through arrangement with the Mil
waukee Y. M. C. A. The youngster? I
are housed In pood camps under
careful supervision and gain an out- 1
ing In the country as wel las wages
The canning of surplus fmlt also l? |
'???Inir "Nl'-nnlvrly practiced by the
fJooi-L'ln peach growers* organization
Th'? heavy frtflt shipping season
is now under way In California and
before October It Is estimated that
bet ween 77,000 anrl R0.000 car load*
will be moved. Adequate transpor
taf ion facilities are regarded as cer
tain In view of the additional refrig
erator cars added to the equlpm< nt
of the Southern Pacific. Western l'a
clflc and A. T. and P. F. roads in
the last year. Grapes will form a
large part of the eastbound ship
ments as the crop this year will
equal or evcesd that of 192!).
More than half the California rice
crop which Is expected this year to
exceed 2.500,000 sacks and which Is
handled largely through co-operatW*
I organisations Is reported to have
